Slow Living

"In our age people lived past 100 years..." - Lost track of how many times ive heard this trite statement. Average life expectancy has gone up consistently over the last 100 years (excepting for wars and sometimes irrespective of that as well). Infant mortality is at its lowest in known human history.

But, Is this living?

Is being alive all there is to life? I really dont think just living and not dying is a great life. Neither is just getting married and having kids. Or just falling in and out of love, that has little or no effect on me. Or even academics, a great job or friends.


I think a life is lived when on my deathbed I am goin to think, theres nothing more I feel I have missed, no one more important to me I havent met, nothing i wanted to become that I havent already done. Selfish.
But thats what I want to do. Live like each day is my last and squeeze every little bit of living out of my life.

Ive been quite blessed and been travelling a lot recently. But I have only been bitching about how tiring and painful it is. Luckily I have also met loads of friends and had lots of fun travelling (not touristing) around the whole place and doin everything i want. Never know when I will get another chance and even if it will ever exist.

Lols. This post sickens me. Its the worst crap ever spat out by my dysfunctional mind. I have just enjoyed th pace rocking from jet setting fast to lazy 1 hour breakfasts with nothing to fill the time but food and drink. I think thats the perfect life for me :) Work between the wasting moments of carnal pleasure.

Mmmmmmmmmm
